Funny that Lenny mentions John Fairbairn's skm140 Trey band pull from Chicago 2011, since his skm140 from the Phish Chicago 2010 is my personal favorite source for that show, and there are some great ones!

sorry to keep commenting, i just love this topic!

"But ultimately if we’re all taping together in the section, each taper is brewing a different stew that night with their unique tools. That’s the real fun for tapers! If all our gear sounded the same, there would be no fun in it, and we really wouldn’t need more than one guy or gal to show up and tape the show."

and THAT is why I love having multiple sources per show. while i might have a handle one which one i prefer best at this point in time, and on my current playback setup (and budget!), that could change over the years.
